+Sioyek is a PDF viewer with a focus on technical books and research
+papers. It uses the mupdf rendering library.
+
+Searchable
+ Quickly search your previously opened documents, table of contents,
+ bookmarks, and highlights. Sioyek can even generate the table of
+ contents if the document doesn't have one!
+
+Smart Jump
+ You can preview or jump to references (e.g. bibliography, figures,
+ equations, etc.) even when the document doesn't have links. You can
+ also search references in google scholar with one click!
+
+Portals
+ You can create portals from parts of documents to other parts which
+ are displayed in a second window. So when you are reading a paragraph
+ that is talking about a figure, table, algorithm, theorem, etc. you
+ don't have to keep jumping between the two locations.
+
+Marks and Bookmarks
+ Mark locations with one-character symbols and then quickly jump back
+ to them. You can also create bookmarks which are like marks, but use a
+ descriptive text instead of a symbol and can be searched.
+
+Highlights
+ Sioyek can highlight text with different colors. They are searchable!
+
+Command Palette
+ Discover sioyek commands and shortcuts using the searchable command
+ palette.
+
+Keyboard Focused
+ While sioyek fully supports many mouse actions, it is still possible
+ to use sioyek only using a keyboard. This includes functionality such
+ as text selection too!
+
+Synctex
+ Sioyek autoreloads the document so you can preview the changes as you
+ edit the latex file. You can also jump between the corresponding
+ locations in PDF and latex files with one click.
+
+Ruler
+ Use a visual ruler to highlight the line currently being read. It
+ reduces eye strain and combined with smart jump feature can create
+ previews and portals without needing to click on the reference!
+
+Configurable
+ Sioyek is highly configurable. You can change all the keybinds and
+ adjust the behavior of the application.
+
+Extensible
+ You can extend sioyek using external commands and scripts. For example
+ you can add OCR, translation, and text to speech to sioyek.
